The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) have announced on Sunday the appointment of
Meke Mwase as the new head coach for the national team on a permanent deal.
Mwase, who has been in the role on a caretaker basis, has been offered a one-year contract which will be effective from 1 July 2019.
“A FAM executive gathering decided to give Mwase a permanent job following his success as interim coach at the Cosafa Cup in South Africa where the team performed well,” FAM president Walter Nyamilandu said.
“Mwase is free to choose who to work with and will be expected to appoint his backroom staff.”
The 46-year-old coach previously held the manger role for U-23 and U-20 national teams before his recent appointment as the senior team’s caretaker.
He managed eight games since taking over from Belgian boss Ronny Van Geneugden, winning three games and drawing three as well while losing two matches.
